Heating Challenge

Hi all,
Have decided that this year I am going to wait as long as I possibly can before turning my heating on.
Maybe some of you have already turned your heating on, but for those that have not do you want to join in? Just choose a date and see if you can wait until then.
I am aiming not to have mine on till at least the 15 November - we will see!

Well its not always possible to cut back when you have someone in the house who is prone to the cold. I have had mine on since early October but I have missed the odd night. I am trying to cut back when or if I can0

Not possible in my house when indoor temps drop to 10C overnight (even when heated during the evening) and that's with loft and cavity wall insulation. I take it the OP lives in a flat or new build?0

I'm living in a new build, but it still gets pretty cold.
Still, I haven't turned on the heating yet and I'm recycling all the heat I can.0 -

Is your username a reflection of how you are because you haven't got the heating on?
It's been sub zero here again for the last few mornings, how on earth could you NOT have heating on?!?!0
